TUCKER, ST JAMES — DEFENDING Red Stripe Premier League champions Montego Bay United will hope to make Rivoli United’s third trip to western Jamaica in 11 days another losing one when they meet in a first-round game at Wespow Park on Sunday afternoon.

Rivoli United lost back-to-back games to Reno FC at Frome Sports Grounds last week Thursday in the Flow Champions Cup KO, and then got a big 5-1 whipping on Sunday in the RSPL.

Despite this, Rivoli United are above Montego Bay United in the point’s tables — one point and two places — but have never won at Wespow Park.

Rivoli United are in fourth place on eight points while Montego Bay United are in sixth place with seven points.

Montego Bay United will be full of confidence coming into the game after a 2-0 win over promoted Barbican FC at the UWI Bowl last weekend, their first away win of the season after losses to Waterhouse and leaders Cavalier SC.

Strikers Allan Ottey and Omar Gordon will be expected to lead the Montego Bay United attack as they seek their third win and keep their unbeaten home record intact.

Montego Bay United have scored five of their seven goals at home and have conceded just once in Montego Bay, in a 1-1 draw against Reno in the opening round.
